Tongan Bible, Revised West Version
1The prayer of David. Hear, O Lord, my justice: attend to my supplication. Give ear unto my prayer, which proceedeth not from deceitful lips.
1ʻE ʻOtua, ke ke fakamoʻui au: he ʻoku ou falala kiate koe.
2Let my judgment come forth from thy countenance: let thy eyes behold the things that are equitable.
2ʻE hoku laumālie, naʻa ke pehē kia Sihova, “Ko hoku ʻEiki koe: ʻoku ʻikai aʻu atu ʻeku angalelei kiate koe;”
3Thou hast proved my heart, and visited it by night, thou hast tried me by fire: and iniquity hath not been found in me.
3Ka ki he kau māʻoniʻoni ʻoku ʻi māmani, pea ki he angalelei, ʻoku ʻiate kinautolu ʻeku fiefia kotoa pē.
4That my mouth may not speak the works of men: for the sake of the words of thy lips, I have kept hard ways.
4ʻE ʻāsili ai ʻae mamahi ʻokinautolu ʻoku kumi ʻotua kehe: ko ʻenau ngaahi feilaulau inu ʻoe toto ʻe ʻikai te u ʻatu, pe toʻo hake honau ngaahi hingoa ki hoku loungutu.
5Perfect thou my goings in thy paths: that my footsteps be not moved.
5Ko hono lelei ʻo hoku tofiʻa mo ʻeku ipu ʻa Sihova: ʻoku ke tauhi hoku talotalo.
6I have cried to thee, for thou, O God, hast heard me: O incline thy ear unto me, and hear my words.
6Kuo falō kiate au ʻae ngaahi afo ʻi he ngaahi potu matamatalelei; ʻio, kuo u maʻu ʻae tofiʻa lelei.
7Shew forth thy wonderful mercies; thou who savest them that trust in thee.
7Te u fakafetaʻi kia Sihova, ʻaia kuo ne akonakiʻi au: ko hoku kofuua foki ʻoku na akonakiʻi au ʻi he ngaahi feituʻu pō.
8From them that resist thy right hand keep me, as the apple of thy eye. Protect me under the shadow of thy wings.
8Kuo u fokotuʻu maʻuaipē ʻa Sihova ʻi hoku ʻao: ko e meʻa ʻi heʻene ʻi hoku nima toʻomataʻu, ʻe ʻikai ai te u ngaue.
9From the face of the wicked who have afflicted me. My enemies have surrounded my soul:
9Ko ia ʻoku fiefia ai hoku loto, pea nekeneka mo hoku ʻelelo: ʻe mālōlō foki ʻa hoku sino ʻi he ʻamanaki lelei.
10They have shut up their fat: their mouth hath spoken proudly.
10Koeʻuhi ʻe ʻikai te ke tuku hoku laumālie ʻi hētesi; pea ʻe ʻikai te ke tuku ho tokotaha māʻoniʻoni ke ne ʻilo ʻae ʻauʻauha.
11They have cast me forth and now they have surrounded me: they have set their eyes bowing down to the earth.
11Te ke fakahā kiate au ʻae hala ʻoe moʻui: ʻoku fonu ʻae fiefia ʻi ho ʻao; ʻoku ʻi ho nima toʻomataʻu ʻae ngaahi fiemālie ʻo taʻengata.
12They have taken me, as a lion prepared for the prey; and as a young lion dwelling in secret places.

14From the enemies of thy hand. O Lord, divide them from the few of the earth in their life: their belly is filled from thy hidden stores. They are full of children: and they have left to their little ones the rest of their substance.
